Asia is the main centre for the sale of ivory, as far as I know. Biologists started noting that elephants seem to be losing their tusks as early as a couple of decades ago. I expect Bedouin supremacists do most of the poaching, for Asian buyers.

An evolutionary arms race between elephants and the lowest creatures on the planet? As intelligent creatures, the elephants will win hands-down. The muzzies may be bigger breeders and threatening the free world right now, but will ultimately lose out due to their low IQ and inbreeding.

Are tuskless elephants still able to feed theirselves and to take care of their cubs?
In a way is not only better for the poachers, i believe is also better for theirselves. They can’t badly harm theirselves in battle anymore.

There aren’t too many animals in the animal kingdom that will take on an elephant. Lions try to jump on their backs sometimes, but once they fall off, the elephant stomps them to death. No need for tusks for protection.

They’ll just switch to elephant foot umbrella stands, Elephant ear umbrellas, and elephant tail fly swatters.
Muslims, among some other people, don’t care about sustainability. All they care about is what they want, and they want it now.

what has happened to elephants bring shame on the human race and the hell of it is if they were left alone to do their thing and we watched without crowding their space we could learn how to raise and protect our family’s , there are no better examples on earth than wild african elephants on how to cooperate and teach their young
